August 11Aug 11 Popular Post Have a place lined up, will have some donuts/kolaches type thing for the early arrivals. Open bar from 11-2(ish) + a food ticket for lunch. Will include call liquor, a Bloody Mary + Burnt Orange Margarita featured cocktails and select white/red wine + a healthy selection of beers including some craft. Will have 6 TV's, 3 of which are projectors 65 actual seats, SRO for another 40 pretty comfortably with high top cocktail tables etc. It's a "like watching in your living room" vibe, not a packed out nut to butt standing room only and shout at each other vibe. Think a place where actual Texas fans who want to watch the game, not be seen want to go. Game sound will be on and we'll listen/watch the OTF halftime report (and depending on the watch with us audio feed, we may sync that vs the game cast which has the propensity to suck because Fox). $75 for all inclusive. $20 to get in and have non alcoholic + cash bar/food. Doors open @ 10 bar opens at 11 unless you tip your bartenders. I'm thinking of limiting this to 100. Big groups (up to 8) can be accommodated, but you'll want to get there early or talk to me about reserving off a section first.

I didn't read it like that and a lot of people including myself are disappointed we aren't doing Columbus. It was going to be sick, but it all fell apart because of vendor greed and insane guarantees they wanted.

I'm having a watch party, 1 120" 4k projection and 75" in the living room. I would invite you but, you know, I live in Houston area, wouldn't make sense. Smoking two pork butts.

Apparently growing a human inside you makes you kind of tired I guess. But we’ve been itching for an excuse to weekend up in Austin. Miss the greenbelt

But really, will there be an easily identified and soundproof section for the despondent chicken littles to stand and wail and declare the game/season/program over, called, oh I don't know, the SatyaUTexmeGreenHulk Seating for the Fan Impaired?

August 15Aug 15 Deciding on whether to go to Columbus or stay in Austin (and watch party). Swore I would never go to Columbus again after 2005, but here we are.

I really just can't justify it. The noon kickoff, the shithole that is Ohio and Columbus, the ridiculous get in prices, the lack of a real Texas tailgate and the horrendus air travel kinda all did it for me. I really should make the trek though...

I really should make the trek though... i'll be there, broke the news to my buddies who also look forward to the Surly meetups.. One of my friends is a tosu alumn and he said he wasn't surprised.. said they have a lame tailgating scene. Last year was terrific despite the cold ass morning and the noon kickoff..being across from GameDay was NICE.

Willing to share gas expense and driving. Due to health issues and lack of familiar with the area I won't go by myself. Thanks Edited August 16Aug 16 by SHOOTER12

August 18Aug 18 I'll just be getting back from a week in Vegas the night before. So, I'll be doing good if I am awake and functional by kickoff.
